The Profile

Austrian composer (1825–1899), famed as "The Waltz King" for his numerous waltzes, polkas, marches and operettas.

Born October 25, 1825; died June 3, 1899. Celebrated for waltzes such as "An der schönen, blauen Donau". Son of Johann Strauss I (who composed the Radetzky-Marsch).

A single affectionate, highly positive review celebrates 'An der schönen, blauen Donau' and the dreamlike quality of Strauss's waltzes. The review mixes personal nostalgia with brief context about Strauss's family and oeuvre. Recommended for listeners who enjoy Viennese dance music and classical popular favourites.
